Rob called them a cab as they were leaving the casino. She was making sure her phone was charged up as he did. They were going to do some exploring and she was excited. He had a brochure that listed several things to see in Tulsa. He was reading to her about The Woodward Park and Gardens Historic District which was a botanical garden and public park. She smiled and nodded always loving botanical gardens!

"It says here the park was established in 1929. Woodward Park sits on 45 beautiful acres of land and consists of several specialty gardens such as the Tulsa Rose Garden." Rob read.

"Oh wow. Lots of history and sounds beautiful too!" She grinned as the cabbie asked where they were going.

Rob gave the name then turned back to his companion.

"Oh cool. It's listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. This says the park is also known for its Upper and Lower Rock Gardens. Other interesting features of the park include a glass conservatory and a sunken garden." Rob looked over at Ama.

"Maybe I should have brought my camera with me." Ama frowned.

Rob asked the cabbie to head back to the hotel since his companion forgot something. He promised he'd throw in a nice tip for the effort. Amarelle thanked both men. They weren't far from the hotel at all, so it only took about two minutes to arrive. She promised she'd be as quick as she could as she climbed out of the cab. Rob sat there wondering how to bring up the subject he wanted to broach with her.

She came running out with her camera bag. Slamming the cab door, Rob could hear how winded she was. He patted her back as she tried to catch her breath. Once again, she thanked both men for coming back and allowing her to grab her camera. The pair chatted about what they wanted to check out. She was curious about the rock gardens, so Rob took his phone out to look it up.

"This is what this site says: The Upper Rock Garden employs honeycomb limestone rocks placed to simulate a stream and small springs. The area has a walkway made of rock, with benches, fountains, bridges and statuary. Seasonal flower plantings provide year-round blooms.

The Lower Rock Garden was planted during the 1960s and 1970s with a very large number of azalea plants. These generally bloom between mid-March and mid-April, creating a mass of color."

"Oh, that sounds beautiful! I really, really want to see those!" Ama smiled.

He told her the site also had a stone driveway and a brick carriage house. Once they'd arrived, Rob paid the cabbie and gave a generous tip. Amarelle had to change some settings on her camera which she did while she waited for Rob. With a smile as the cab drove away, he asked if she were ready. She smiled back, camera hanging from her neck. They walked around taking everything in. She photographed things while he took selfies.

"So, uh, Ama... have you thought about starting a family yet?" Rob suddenly asked making her look sharply at him.

"It's been playing on my mind." She simply replied.

"Oh? Care to share your thoughts?" He gave her that teddy bear grin.

"Well, my company is just getting off the ground. The band are climbing higher and higher. And I really don't know if Tim even wants children. It just doesn't seem like it's a good time to think about it." She blurted out.

"Well, have you even talked to Tim and Adam about having children? I know Chance and Austin have been talking about having a family." Rob glanced over at her to see her reaction.

"You don't think it's too soon?" She looked over at him.

"Why would it be? Do you not want children?" Rob inquired as they walked along.
